Brake Pad Change Time

Hey folks, I'm getting an intermittant Brake Wear warning light on my '99, and looking at the front pads, they do look a bit thin.

I've watched Youtube videos on how to change 996 brake pads and it doesn't seem too scary, so that'll be my next project.

In your experience, is there any aftermarket brake pad brand for street use that stops better/lasts longer than OEM, or works just as well as OEM for far fewer bucks?

And for a followup question, my rotors have about a 1/8'' lip on them from wearing down after 60k of driving. There doesn't seem to be any warping at all or anything, but is there a certain amount of rotor wear that's acceptable and not acceptable on 996's?

many thanks as always!
